Biography
Jaber Elbaneh was born on 9 September 1966 in Yemen, and he later came to the United States to work at a New York cheese factory. He married there and had seven children, and he lived in poverty due to having a spotty work record. Closely associated with the fellow Yemeni-Americans of the Lackawanna Six cell of al-Qaeda, Elbaneh racked up debt while purchasing supplies for the group to head to Afghanistan, having a $145,000 tab. He was arrested in Yemen while working as a cab driver, but he escaped from prison in 2006; he later turned himself in to shorten the length of his jail time.
